Strong Foundations: Bible Verses for a New House

Before the drywall was installed in our new home, I decided to mark several of the studs throughout the house with certain Bible verses. Some of these verses have to do with the room and the purpose it will serve and some are more personal. I thought I’d share which verses I used in case anyone else out there is looking for ideas like I was…and also for my own reference since these are all sealed up beneath insulation and drywall now.

Entry Doors:

Deuteronomy 28:6
You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

Proverbs 30:8-9
Remove falsehood and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches— Feed me with the food allotted to me; Lest I be full and deny You, And say, “Who is the LORD?” Or lest I be poor and steal, And profane the name of my God.

Dining Room:

Colossians 2:6-7
As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

Living Room:

Psalm 133:1A song of ascents. Of David. How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!

(I forgot to take a picture of the living room wall.)

Master Bedroom:

1 Timothy 4:12
Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.

(I forgot to take a picture of the master bedroom wall.)

Master Closet:

Colossians 3:14
But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.

Bedroom for future foster kids:

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Alianna’s room:

Romans 8:15
For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

Playroom (Den, Spare Bedroom):

Isaiah 43:19
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

Bathrooms:

Psalm 51:7
Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Office:

Isaiah 40:30-31
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Music Room:

Psalm 98:4
Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music; make music to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn— shout for joy before the LORD, the King.

I love that you have bathed your home in scriptures, and I love the verses you picked! May God fill the house with His very presence and may you have frequent and permanent supernatural “visitors” ( angels, in other words). Love you.

My wife and I thought about writing scriptures in our new construction home pre-drywall and we were about to do our research when I decided to do a quick google search for some verses. By the grace of God, I found this page and we love each verse you used. Thank you so much for sharing and I hope it makes you feel good to know that you helped this young couple cover our first home with the words of God and all his goodness. God bless!

My husband and I are having our first home built and I was researching on some scriptures to stand on for our new home and found this site. It has really touched me and I will be using this same idea for our home. I love all the scriptures. Thanks and God Bless you!!!

I am building a new home for me and my two boys. A friend of mine suggested writing scriptures on the floors. I decided to do that in each room of our new home. As a single mother, I need all the blessings I can get. As I googled this morning to start finding scriptures, I ran across yours and it is absolutely perfect! Thanks for sharing and may God bless you in special ways!!

My husband and I are also building a home after fours years of marriage. We had the foundation Blessed and anointed. I too, like others, wanted scriptures within the home. This is such a great idea. I plan to use these in my home as well as scriptures for the pantry and laundry rooms. Love your spirit and home dedications.

Thank you for sharing and may God continue to bless you! In anticipation to having my home built I too was searching for scripture to write on the foundation and frame of this home. Your examples are perfect and I’m so happy to find other brothers and sisters in Christ who knows He’s to be the center of our lives!

Thanks for sharing the verses.My husband and I have just started our house construction with our 3 children. We have decided to build our house out of faith to God that He will help us and bless us so we can finish it soon. God is really the foundation of this house that we are building. I like the verses you shared, and if you won’t mind I will also use these on the foundation and frame of our home. I trust the Lord will bless your entire family for having Him as the center of your lives.

Thank you for the Scriptures. This is perfect! As a single mother, I need all the blessings I can get . I love the verses you used. I want to use them for my new apartment.

We too plan on doing this, and you have given us ideas! The house is being built as we speak! THANK YOU! I also wanna tell you , we have all the same rooms, including future Foster care rooms except a music room… WE too are in the process of adoption and foster care. I swear it’s like a mirror of our family! Thank you and I will forever follow your blog now!

Congratulations for the touching scriptures for blessing a new house. I add more text for the living room from Deuteronomy 6:6-9. God bless you and your home.

These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Wonderful ! I have been praying to God to enable us as afamily to be able to build apartment this year 2015, after dedication of the land and declaration using some scriptures ,i launched for search of scriptures and thats how i landed on our site,wauh and i will use the same while constructing our apartment in September 2015

Thank you for sharing! We are building, too, slowly & after 27 years of marriage (but still children at home.) i love the idea of adding the scriptures to the structure, and I also had already planned to do artwork/signs, etc. in the decor of all rooms. What a great selection of verses to be used both ways!!
